“I wanted to tell you, but…”

“But I wouldn't listen.”

“You had to concentrate on your training, and you were right! It paid off. I'm so proud!”

He smiles, almost blushing.

“We chose our respective passions, at the risk of jeopardizing our love,” he says.

“How about a promise that this will never happen again?”

He nods and leans toward me, his lips very close to mine.

“Emily, I swear I'll talk to you about everything from now on. And that nothing will ever stand in the way of our relationship again.”

“Liam, I swear the same.”

Finally, he kisses me and it's as if the ground opens up beneath my feet. He holds me tighter and grunts with pleasure as our tongues mingle. Stumbling backwards, we make our way to my bedroom, where we frantically strip off our clothes.

I need to feel him against me. His skin, his breath, his kisses...

Liam kisses me passionately and I feel myself getting hotter. I wrap my legs around him and let my hands roam up and down his back.

“I've missed you so much,” he murmurs between kisses.

He places little kisses on every inch of my body.

When he reaches between my legs, I let out a little cry of pleasure. With his tongue and fingers, he slowly sweeps me off my feet. I think I'm about to explode when he jerks me around. He caresses my back and gently bites the back of my neck. His caresses are electrifying. I need more than this, I need him.

My hips develop a life of their own and tense towards him. When he finally penetrates me, a great sigh escapes me. To be one with him is amazing. With steady strokes, he pushes me into ecstasy and just as I'm recovering from this wave of pleasure, he turns me over again and pulls me onto his lap. I lean down and kiss him, letting my mouth move from his lips to his neck and torso, while my hips slowly rotate. Liam's hands sink into my butt and he moans softly. Soon after, a new wave of pleasure washes over me and my legs tremble. Liam smiles in satisfaction and looks at me lovingly before turning me onto my back. After a few quick thrusts, he too falls off the cliff and collapses on top of me. We both breathe hard as our bodies recover.

Finally, Liam slides over and pulls me against him. He holds me tight, and we fall asleep. Together.

Rays of sunlight tickle my nose and I wake up gently. At the memory of our reunion, I smile like an idiot and stretch out, careful not to wake my beautiful sleeper.

I get up to prepare coffee and breakfast for us when the door suddenly opens.

Cassy stands in the doorway, wide-eyed at who she sees in my bed, and a big smile spreads across her face.

“Wild night?” she asks, laughing.

I blush immediately and step in front of her to block her view.

“I'm glad you were able to sort out your problems, sweetie,” she continues, giving me a hug.

“Liam's still asleep, so please, could you...”

But already in my bed, the sheets are stirring.

“Oh, hi Cassy...”

“Hi Liam!”

She doesn't seem the least bit embarrassed. Finally, she turns away and finishes preparing the breakfast I've left unfinished. Liam takes the opportunity to put on his pants and T-shirt, before coming over to give me a delicate kiss.

“Hello,” he says serenely, running a hand through his hair.

Cassy hides her smile behind her coffee cup, and I nudge her gently, which only makes her smile more.
